Is it normal to look at the keyboard while typing?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to look at the keyboard while you type. Plenty of people never learned touch typing, and even fast typists glance down now and then.

Totally normal. Looking at the keys is just one way to keep track of where your fingers are; touch typing is a learned skill, not a requirement for being a competent typist.

Some people prefer to glance down, while others get faster by practicing without looking. If you want to learn, take it gradually—but there’s no need to change how you type unless it’s getting in your way.
